This week's lineup is very difficult. If I were betting money, I would skip this week. Tiger-Cats over Lions - The Ticats have won six straight, and they are at home. Alouettes over Elks - The Als are missing their best players due to injury, while the Elks are getting better. But I won't pick a team both on a losing streak and on the road. Argos over Redblacks - I don't have confidence in either team, so I will go with the home team. Stampeders over Blue Bombers - Both Adams and Collaros will start, with the Stamps at home. No way would I pick Calgary if Adams weren't playing. ***** Week 10 previews https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/07/4-storylines-to-watch-in-week-10/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/bc-lions-3-5-week-10-preview-vs-hamilton-tiger-cats-6-2-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-schedule-today-august-7th-2025-bc-lions-vs-hamilton-tiger-cats-tv-channels-live-stream-odds/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/juggernaut-hamilton-tiger-cats-seek-seventh-straight-victory-in-battle-vs-bc-lions-on-tsn-1.2343602 https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/07/3-keys-to-victory-for-edmonton-montreal-in-week-10/ https://3downnation.com/2025/08/07/montreal-alouettes-missing-all-cfl-db-marc-antoine-dequoy-ol-justin-lawrence-against-elks/ Quote

The Argos have lost five straight despite Arbuckle and the offense putting up big numbers. Tiger-Cats over Roughriders - I'm still not sold on the Riders, despite their having the league's best record. Lions over Alouettes - If I drafted my own power rankings, the Als would be last.
